The 1986 breeding season: birds fly to the N. Cal coast, feed on oily fish. Then, oil they weren't expecting: a massive crude spill. We gut-feel their horror via #BrionyPenn's riveting account of that + the ensuing court case. @theseaboardreview.ca @harbourpublishing.bsky.social shorturl.at/r7Sjn

Had a great visit with author (and Bathurst native) Loretta Colton at Mill Cove Coffee in #Miramichi today. Interesting facts about life in northern communities and a glimpse of what the follow-up book will contain. #nbbluesky

Nonsense can 🟰 wisdom? You bet! Fun examples: #kathystinson's Boogy & Tee and Twinkle & Hew, with rhymes à la Lear, and our hapless boaters coping in a storm. #GroundwoodBooks In #sarahhowden's The Wise Pickle, our crunchy protagonist enjoys escaping its brine—for now. #TundraBooks shorturl.at/Jiuvz

Onboard with this new offering from independent Canadian publisher Undertow Publications.

In Meanwhile, Back in Nokomis: Tales from Canada and Elsewhere, he enchants with ironic, wry & affectionate travel tales.
